Eric Ferring

Eric Ferring is a tenor scheduled to sing the tenor solos in Handel's Messiah with Boston Baroque in December 2026. The appearance data catalogues him as a soloist for these two performances, offering listeners the tenor's arias and recitatives that carry the narration through Handel's oratorio.

Handel's Messiah gives its tenor soloist some of the work's most exposed narrative moments, including "Comfort ye" and "Every valley shall be exalted," which open the piece with long, flowing lines that set the tone before the chorus enters. Later passages such as "Thy rebuke hath broken his heart" call for a leaner, more plaintive delivery. Listeners can expect a tenor voice tasked with moving fluidly between storytelling recitative and florid, rapid-note passagework, all within Boston Baroque's period-instrument approach to the score, which tends to favor brisker tempos and lighter orchestral textures than a full modern symphony orchestra performance.
